Three face federal charges of health care fraud

Three Southern California residents face federal charges of conspiracy and health care fraud in indictments unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Fresno. The case involves chiropractic clinics in Fresno, Visalia and Bakersfield.

Two of the people were arrested Thursday: Bahar Gharib-Danesh, a 38-year-old chiropractor from Woodland Hills, and Bakersfield chiropractor Na Young Eoh, 41. Federal prosecutors said a third suspect, John Terrence, a 72-year-old clinical psychologist from Marina Del Rey, is expected to appear in federal court in the coming weeks. The three are charged with conspiracy to commit health care fraud and 15 counts of health care fraud.

Gharib-Danesh managed Pain Relief Health Centers, her health company with clinics in Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Fresno and Visalia, according to the July 2 indictment, while Eoh worked out of the clinics in the central and southern San Joaquin Valley. Terrence saw patients at the Bakersfield clinic.
